Cardinal Pride

A bright red cardinal perched on a branch that cut horizontally from the left to the right. The bird itself is looking up and to the left, seen at a 3/4 angle, his bright plummage making direct contrast with the gnarly mottled colors of the tree behind it. The sky is a simple pale blue, crisscrossed with branches. His tail feathers are poking out form behind the foreground branch, extending to the bottom of the image.
